The Wee- Beasties The Wee 3 are- now the Wee 7!!!     Barked: Wed Jan 23, '13 7:27pm PST  We get a product called Probiocin from our vet that comes in a syringe. It works well for all of our pups when they have issues. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

The Wee- Beasties The Wee 3 are- now the Wee 7!!!     Barked: Wed Jan 23, '13 7:23pm PST  A few years ago, I was here on Dogster, I believe and found a rescue or shelter that has a huge and very successful rummage sale. We're having a big sale for our Pet Alliance in a few months and I was hoping to, um, "borrow" some of their ideas but I can't seem to find out anything about them now and my notes are LOOONG gone (darn Spring cleaning!) BOL Anyway, I remember they had cutesy names for different zones of the sale like "Barks & Noble" for the book area but I can't remember any of the others. If by some miracle any of you have heard of this and can point me in that direction, I'd appreciate it. Barring that, if you can help me think of dog and cat-related names for each section, I'd appreciate it! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Keeping a doggie diary of health-related events

The Wee- Beasties The Wee 3 are- now the Wee 7!!!     Barked: Sat Jan 21, '12 7:43pm PST  There's a great app called Pet First Aid that I paid $4.99 for and I love it! It's got the usual first aid stuff for dogs...wounds, injuries, poisoning, etc. but it also has a pet info page where you can list all their stats, shots, medications, food, care notes, etc and you can email that to anyone. It also has a journal page where you can make notes and a weight tracker. With 7 dogs and a foster, I HAVE to keep organized and this app helps me SOOO much! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Senior Dogs > Laser therapy for arthritis

Peaches- ♥ I'm adopted!!     Barked: Mon Jan 16, '12 8:06pm PST  Our vet just started offering this. She was skeptical at first but she SWEARS by it now. It really is amazing and the dogs love the treatment. Even our grumpy girl loves going in for treatment...they laser after doing anal gland expression to help with inflammation and she nearly fell asleep on them last time. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > why does pippin keep knawing at his feet?

Jax Foster Failure- #3     Barked: Thu Jun 30, '11 7:33pm PST  Jax has some sort of grass allergy in the spring and fall and will chew on his feet and they end up getting infected. The inside of his ears will sometimes get very red at the same time. Vet gives him a short course of prednisolone and antibiotics as well as us giving him a daily dose of benadryl and he gets over it in a few days. Once it's under control, he usually doesn't break out again until the next season change. Seems to be worse when the grass is dry, too...not as bad if it's been raining. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Peaches- ♥ I'm adopted!!     Barked: Thu Jun 23, '11 5:13pm PST  If you have them outside, put cornmeal on or near the ant hills. Little mounds of it everywhere. They love the stuff but can't digest it and it won't hurt if your pups if they get into it. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogs and a Clean Home > Vacuum recommendations?

Peaches- ♥ I'm adopted!!     Barked: Thu Jun 23, '11 5:11pm PST  I know Dyson's are expensive but I can tell you that I'd gladly pay the price all over again for the clean we get. We had a mid-priced vacuum and were reasonably happy with it but had an opportunity to get a Dyson for a good price. After vacuuming with the old one then immediately running the Dyson, I thought we wouldn't get much out of the carpet. Boy was I wrong!!! We had to empty the canister THREE TIMES!!! and this was from carpet that before we considered clean! If it were me, I'd borrow someone's vac or buy a really cheap one and save up the money to buy the Dyson. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Joplin Tornado dog survived but is missing - maybe stolen!

Peaches- ♥ I'm adopted!!     Barked: Thu Jun 23, '11 5:05pm PST  Can you help? A family in Joplin is looking for their white American Bulldog named Hanah. She was seen and photographed after the tornado, but for whatever reason was not captured and taken to the Humane Society Shelter. They are conducting a nationwide search for her and need as much help as they can get! This is their page: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Bring-Hanah-Home/185536731495041 (forgot how to make a link- sorry!) She's a sweet and healthy dog and it seems they think someone has her and is keeping her for themselves. There were so many volunteers in the area right after the storm and it was such chaos that Hanah seems to have gotten "lost" in the shuffle. They want her back and have been trying to get as much media coverage as possible so that whoever has her will know she is loved and will bring her home. Her story was featured on the Weather Channel but more attention is needed. If there is anything you can do to help - wherever you are - please do so. Just getting the word out will help. Paws crossed that Hanah gets home very soon!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Senior Dogs > So Rufus drinks his own pee...

Rufus The Chuck Norris- of Chihuahuas!     Barked: Mon May 16, '11 9:03pm PST  He gets around just fine, as long as he knows where everything is. Since he's losing his eyesight, he needs to be sure of everything before heads off. But if he knows he's got room to run, he'll do it...especially if the other dogs aren't around. He doesn't want to go outside to pee, though. He gets lost on the way to the door sometimes and will often get lost in the back yard, just because he can't see where the door really is. We have him confined to a large pen in our family room and he prefers to spend most of his time there since it's a smaller environment that he's familiar with. We keep the door open as much as possible but he only comes out once in a great while. We keep a potty pad in there for him and he seems to prefer that to the grass. Even if we carry him outside, he'll often not go while he's out there and will come inside to use the potty pad. His bowl is right next to his bed...he doesn't even have to get out of it to take a drink. And it stays in the same place all the time, so he knows right where it is. He had a full blood workup done just last week and the low sodium levels are all they could find. He does tend to bark for no reason sometimes but not often. He barks while you're fixing his dinner and if he can't get back under his blankets or if he's pooped. He's very insistent that we clean up any poop immediately. But sometimes he has just eaten, poo is cleaned up and he's wrapped up just fine but he'll just bark. Nothing wrong...he just barks and after a minute or two, he'll stop. It's just the strangest thing...poor little guy. I sometimes wonder about his quality of life but as long as he's basically healthy, I can't bring myself to let him go. He's a tough little dog and has survived so much already that it just wouldn't seem right. But we do wonder... They say to decide, you should think about their 5 favorite things and if they can't enjoy them, then it's time. But Ru hasn't got 5 things he likes and never has, really - not since we got him. Since we didn't know him when he was younger, it's hard to tell. We'll enjoy him a little longer and keep hoping... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

The Wee- Beasties The Wee 3 are- now the Wee 7!!!     Barked: Fri May 13, '11 12:17pm PST  I've never had it clog up my washer but we do get a lot in the dryer. We found out years ago that if you put a half to a full cup of plain white vinegar in the wash along with your detergent, it helps the fabric actually release the dog hair and makes the hair less likely to stick. It also helps remove some stubborn smells that detergent and fabric softener just cover up. We use vinegar in every load now. That plus a static sheet in the dryer and you wouldn't believe the hair that comes out! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
